A cement 23 is then placed in the socket 19 and the exposed end of the metallic reinforcement forced into the cement until the lower end of the cross rests upon the base 20. When the cement burdens. the concrete cross is firmly held by the base. just as though it was integral therewith.

In some instances, the inlays 6 can be made of a fiat bar 24, as illustrated in .Figa

,3, the bar being placed upon the bottom of marble. while the interior of the monument is made of n coarser material, as coarse concrete. In the formation of the monument', it 1s possible to resort to the n'ilaying of characters, representing` an inscription, or

any other device that it is desirable to use in connection with the monument.

A monument comprising a body formed of :i front facing of a fine grade of concrete7 an exposed inlay held bv Suid front facing. a reinforcement mounted upon the inner fuce oi' said front facing, side and top facings of a fine grade of concrete, a filling of a coarse grade of concrete between said facings and enibeddingv said reinini-cement, and a rear facing of a iine grade of concrete.

E. A monument con'iprisinna bodi7 formed of a front facing of a line grade of concrete, an exposed inlay held by seid front facing, a reinforcement mounted upon the inner face of said iront facing;4 and projecting from e. lower end thereof, side and top facing's of a fine grade of concrete` a filling of a coarse grade of concrete between said facing and embedding said reinforcement, a rear facing' of a line grade of concrete, and a concrete base abutting against the lower end of said body and having the projecting In testimony whereof we allix our signa-- turcs in the presence of two witnesses.
